Burrows on the Dead Sea Scrolls: An Omnibus of Two Famous Volumes: The Dead Sea Scrolls
'What mean these stones?'
"In the 1830s the Scots in Tobago built two Presbyterian churches, known then as 'Scotch kirks'. Only the church in Scarborough, the island's capital, survives, and this book is published to mark its restoration in 2015. Both churches housed schools. The author weaves the story of these church-schools into the story of all the Christian denominations and missions: Anglicans, Methodists, Moravians, Presbyterians, Roman Catholics, London Missionary Society and the Mico Charity. The churches and schools were linked to movements in Europe and distant parts of the British Empire. In a readable style, she brings this whole panorama of people and places home to us."

The Dead Sea scrolls
Early in 1947, a fifteen-year-old Bedouin boy discovered a cave at the edge of the Dead Sea. In it were broken jars containing scrolls of leather wrapped in linen cloth, inscribed in a strange writing. Soon recognized as "the greatest manuscript discovery of modern times," the chance finding of the Dead Sea Scrolls touched off furious controversy among Bible scholars and fascinated the public. In this book, the author tells the entire story -- of the discoveries, of the attempts to date the manuscripts, of their content and their significance.
